How to rebuild a Li-Ion battery pack

[JujuLand]

I have read your article with a great interest, because I have a problem with my Lifebook battery and the price of such battery is really bigger for me.

Unfortunately, if I have a Series S Lifebook, the battery hasn't the same reference.
Instead of 'FPCBP25 battery pack' my battery has this reference: 'FPCBP52 battery pack' (10,8V 3400mAH).

I suppose it's not exactely the same battery and the components aren't the same.

Do you know the reference of the elements I must buyt to make the same operation?
Do you think the job to do is similar to the one you describe?

Thanks for your answer.

Well, Laptop batteries and such are quite tricky to rebuild if U don't have the "know-how". Many batterypacks have inbuilt serial eeprom that has to be reseted or otherwise inbuilt fuel-gauge won't work properly.

I have and old-world Apple PowerBook G3 Series, the li-ion cells are with the code "17670", don
